Calorie Burn by Body Weight
The number of calories you burn walking 2 miles scales directly with your body weight. A 140-pound person burns about 152 calories, while a 200-pound person burns approximately 216 calories. Walking speed also plays a role — faster paces burn more calories per minute.
Walking 2 Miles for Weight Loss
If you walk 2 miles daily, you burn approximately 1,000-1,700 extra calories per week. Over a month, this can result in 1-2 pounds of weight loss without any dietary changes. Combined with a modest calorie reduction, daily 2-mile walks can produce steady, sustainable weight loss of 1-2 pounds per week.
